I fished a split day since i had to work midday. I primarily caught fish on the original hump. The the morning, the hump was covered with 1-1.5lbs fish and by noon, I had landed 25 keepers. After work, I found that they had moved off the sides of the hump into 9-10', but were still hanging exactly 7' down. The average size increased as evening set in. The first fish I caught int he afternoon was the 2.36 lb slab. The 2.02 lb fish, caught in the morning was skinny considering it was almost 16" long! But the days big fish was nicely proportionate--and its eyes were cloudedlike it was going blind. A couple fish hit jigs in the morning...but nothing once the sun hit the water.

Big fish pics will be posted soon.
